Ganesh Himal Trekking

Ganesh Himal Trekking is located in central Nepal, northwest of Kathmandu, with terraced hillsides appearing to ascend to the sky. Several motivating ethnic groups of a mixed lifestyle, offers you a glance into real Nepali life and it gives visitors an opportunity to scrutinize the rich Nepalese cultural tradition from the neighbouring district and intermingle with locals, hence giving the sightseeing a sense of satisfaction.

Ganesh Himal Trekking through picturesque villages and unspoilt areas of the country, leads us to Singla pass (4045m) and Pangsang pass (3850m) where mountain views are superb. The trail then descends through beautiful pine forests and villages and we arrive at Sertung and onto the village of Chalishgaon. It is very beautiful and a typical cultural Gurung village. The trail then heads up to the black & white lakes at the base of Ganesh Himal. It is truly unique and an extra gift by God as well as a natural hot spring between Chalishgaon and Hindung. It is situated in a remote area where there are few villages. Chalishgaon to the natural hot spring takes a couple of hours.

Moreover it is the area that offers an excellent habitat for a large assortment of plants and animals; 526 species of plants including 40 species of orchids and 300 species of birds. Other interesting wild animals are the Himalayan Thar, Gaur and many kinds of Monkeys and Musk Deer. There are some fascinating panoramic viewpoints, Singla pass (4045m), Khurpudanda Pass (3710m), Pangsang Bhanjyang (3850m), Jaisal Kunda, and Jyamrung. These places offer views of more than 40 mountains over (6000m). We can start Ganesh Himal Trekking from Betrawati or Syabru Besi and Dhading Besi after a drive from Kathmandu. The treks end at Dhading Besi or Gorkha Bazaar or Syabru Besi.

We can arrange a trek in this area to suit your requirements and timescale.
